Photography; Nikon Lenses?
Posted by admin | Under Nikon D90 DX Monday Sep 28, 2009I’m buying a Nikon D90. But I don’t know which lens I should buy.
My options are:
a) Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105 f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lens
b) Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-135 f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF Lens
Which one is better?
Please explain why. and im really for the 18-135 only because I can zoom in better. but is the vr a big difference in the picture?
At 105 mm you can usually shoot at 1/125 second handheld without too much problem so you can use the 105 with or without VR with the 135 is you shoot at 1/250 second or faster you also will not really miss the VR. So its really which lens gives you the reach you want. If you can go to the local photoshop have them get a d90 off the shelf and both lenses and look through them and decide what will fit your needs best
Go with the VR (Vibration Reduction) model.

You’re probably best going with the VR lens. Having the VR really makes up for the 30mm zoom you lose with the 135. If you have very steady hands the VR usually turns itself off when taking pictures. But seeing how its the D90, shooting videos will be a lot easier and steadier with the VR lens.
